Hybrid automatic repeat request management for differing types of hybrid automatic repeat request processes

A wireless communication device, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory, the memory and the at least one processor configured to:
• determine whether traffic received by the wireless communication device is associated with a first type of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process or a second type of HARQ process,
• wherein the first type of HARQ process is associated with a first length transmission time interval (TTI) and the second type of HARQ process is associated with a second length TTI;
• and
• allocate a sub-buffer for the traffic,
• wherein the sub-buffer is selected from a set of sub-buffers of a first size when the traffic is associated with the first type of HARQ process, and
• wherein the sub-buffer is selected from a set of sub-buffers of a second size when the traffic is associated with the second type of HARQ process,
• wherein the first size is a multiple of the second size.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for determining whether traffic received by the apparatus is associated with a first type of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process or a second type of HARQ process,
• wherein the first type of HARQ process is associated with a first length transmission time interval (TTI) and the second type of HARQ process is associated with a second length TTI;
• and
• means for allocating a sub-buffer for the traffic,
• wherein the sub-buffer is selected from a set of sub-buffers of a first size when the traffic is associated with the first type of HARQ process, and
• wherein the sub-buffer is selected from a set of sub-buffers of a second size when the traffic is associated with the second type of HARQ process,
• wherein the first size is a multiple of the second size.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions for wireless communication, the one or more instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a wireless communication device, cause the one or more processors to:
• determine whether traffic received by the wireless communication device is associated with a first type of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process or a second type of HARQ process,
• wherein the first type of HARQ process is associated with a first length transmission time interval (TTI) and the second type of HARQ process is associated with a second length TTI;
• and
• allocate a sub-buffer for the traffic,
• wherein the sub-buffer is selected from a set of sub-buffers of a first size when the traffic is associated with the first type of HARQ process, and
• wherein the sub-buffer is selected from a set of sub-buffers of a second size when the traffic is associated with the second type of HARQ process,
• wherein the first size is a multiple of the second size.
